Piano Man Lyrics

Artist: Billy Joel
Album: Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturdaythe regular crowd shuffles inThere's an old man sitting next to meMakin' love to his tonic and ginHe say, Son can you play me a memoryI'm not really sure how it goesBut it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it completeWhen I wore a younger man's clothesDa da da de de dada da de de da da daSing us a song, you're the piano mansing us a song tonightWell, we're all in the mood for a melodyAnd you've got us feelin' alrightNow John at the bar is a friend of mineHe gets me my drinks for freeAnd he's quick with a joke or to light up your smokeBut there's someplace that he'd rather beHe says Bill, I believe this is killing meAs the smile ran away from his faceWell I'm sure that I could be a movie starIf I could get out of this placeSing us a song, you're the piano mansing us a song tonightWell, we're all in the mood for a melodyAnd you've got us feelin' alrightNow Paul is a real estate novelistWho never had time for a wifeAnd he's talking with Davy who's still in the navyAnd probably will be for lifeAnd the waitress is practicing politicsAs the businessmen slowly get stonedYes, they're sharing a drink they call lonelinessBut it's better than drinking aloneIt's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday,And the manager gives me a smile'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to seeTo forget about life for awhile.And the piano sounds like a carnivalAnd the microphone smells like a beerAnd they sit at the bar and put bread in my jarAnd say "Man, what are you doin' here?"Da da da de de dada da de de da da daSing us a song, you're the piano manSing us a song tonight.Well, we're all in the mood for a melodyAnd you've got us feelin' alright.

by jamie on 11/6/2008 7:00pmI would love to see billy in concert and hes coming to my town soon but I am guessing tickets will be like $200 and i cant afford that! I guess you can charge that much when you are as amazing of a musician as he is...
